Why is it a good idea to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving baseball?

Physics
1 answer:
qaws [65]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:d

Explanation:

It is good to extend your bare hand forward when you are getting ready to catch a fast-moving ball so you can pull your hand back, increasing the time to slow the ball thus decreasing the force.

While catching impulse is being transferred to hands imparting great force, lowering hand would increase the time so that average force decreases and chances to drop the ball also decreases.

If a proton is moved a certain distance directly opposite an external electric field, what can we say about the change in the el
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Potential energy increases.

Explanation:

We know that the direction of electric field is from positive to negative charge. As the proton has the positive charge so if it moves in the direction opposite of electric field, it means that the positive charge will move towards the positive region. As the positive charge is attracted towards negative and repelled by the positive charge. So the work done will be negative in bringing the positive charge towards the positive region of the field and potential energy increases in the direction opposite to electric field. As the potential energy decreases in the direction of electric field.

a plane travels 2.5 km at an angle of 35 degrees to the ground and then changes Direction and travels 5.2 km and an angle of 22
Bess [88]

We can solve for the resultant x and y components by using the sine and cosine functions.

resultant x = 2.5 cos 35 + 5.2 cos 22 = 6.87 km

resultant y = 2.5 sin 35 + 5.2 sin 22 = 3.38 km

 

The resultant displacement is calculated using hypotenuse equation:

displacement = sqrt (6.87^2 + 3.38^2)

displacement = 7.66 km

 

The resultant angle is:

θ = tan^-1 (3.38 / 6.87)

θ = 26.20°

 

Therefore the magnitude and direction is:

7.66 km, 26.20° to the ground

Which energy transformations occur when a candle burns?
Daniel [21]
<span>This would be chemical energy that is converted to heat. The heat from the wick melts the wax which gets absorbed in the wick and then gets burnt (which is really oxidation) to produce heat energy.</span>
